The new young dynasty of super saints is coming to a ground near you.
Welsby-Dodd-Simms-Eaves-Rizzelli, not Eastmond...the future is coming.

My god, the Wigan fans on here are all like Batista's character in Guardians of the Galaxy. They take everything in it's purest literal form.

I've seen one Wigan fan who is able to admit the sport needs to cut out these sort of tackles. ONE. That is disappointing. I guess we'll have to wait until a young league player gets maimed before we do anything about it.



A lot of Wigan fans won,t accept any liabilities because most of them are living in Wanes World, the fact that the birthplace of the cannonball in super league belongs to Wigan and Wanes promotion of thuggery play are entities difficult to sweep under the carpet.

Jesus H. We know the tackle happened. It's the rest of your feckwitted rant that's the issue.

McDermott is going. I actually think he is more relaxed because of it, and seems to have let the shackles go. He apparently asked to finish the season, and that is what they agreed.

Re: Cannonball tackles : Sat May 23, 2015 1:48 pm  
So Wigan fans should carry around some sort of collective guilt-trip for unleashing this demon pox on the game, like Catholics and Original Sin? :lol:

All coaches are looking for an edge. Any tactic that is more or less within the laws of the game will be utilised. It's the nature of professional sport. Wigan may well have been one of the first in SL to use it (and I guess it emanated, like so much else dubious in the game, from the Melbourne Storm), but if they hadn't someone else would have.

I don't like the tactic, but I think (and most posters here seem to agree?) that drastic rules changes aren't necessary. As pointed out, dangerous contact laws already exist. Referees just need to be prepared to call held in the timely fashion. And if the current NRL interpretation was applied here, I think that would be sufficient. I accept that's a lot easier to achieve with two refs, though.

If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.

Re: Cannonball tackles : Sun May 24, 2015 10:45 am  
I'm surprised by the lack of outrage at that tackle. As a Saints fan, it certainly adds weight to Wigan fans theory that people are only interested when their players do cannonball tackles.

The Ian Henderson tackle was an absolute disgrace, far worse than Powell's last week, not far off being as bad as Chase's. What was just as bad was James Child not sending him to the sin bin. Earlier this year, foul play was correctly punished on the field by yellow cards. As per usual, this interpretation has been forgotten.

Bateman got straight up from it, but if we would have stayed down, then I think Henderson would have walked. The seriousness of an injury should not dictate the punishment IMO. The risk for injury should and that tackle caused a huge risk. I'd be very disappointed if Henderson didn't get at least a 4 match ban for that.

I'd imagine not that many people have actually seen it with the Catalans game being on the red button. I flicked between it and the Championship game and didn't see the incident
